mfs NJT459 Posted February 23, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2018 Quote Fifty years in the making, officials anticipate the connection between I-95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike will be open by late summer/early fall 2018. Motorists on Interstate 95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike soon will be able to get from here to there on just one road. It’s only taken about 50 years. Since I-95′s completion in 1969, plans called for creating a seamless link between the interstate and the turnpike. In 2018, project engineers say, they will finally make good on the decades-old promise to make the connection and have I-95 stretch continuously from Maine to Florida. http://www.theintell.com/news/20180218/project-to-connect-i-95-pa-turnpike-nears-major-milestone/1 I wonder if this will mean Greyhound, some Bolt Buses, and Megabuses will no longer travel through BFB, NJ 38, NJ 73 to Turnpike Exit 4 between Philly-NYC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traildriver Posted November 30, 2020 Share #3 Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) This also means another reroute for I-95...it no longer use the Scudders Falls Bridge...I-295 is extended to replace it. And since that bridge was replaced by a new structure last year, it became a toll bridge (collected going from NJ to PA). The whole I-95 route issue is silly...right from the beginning, it should have been over the NJTP the entire way, but for political reasons, it was routed through Pennsylvania. This has always caused confusion for some through travelers, not familiar with the routing.

Was surprised to find there's an I-95 gap in Jersey. My family on two separate occasions made a wrong turn on 95 N/B in Delaware and ended up in Philly rather than South Jeresy via the Delaware Bridge haha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made sense to me too, I see I-95 in NJ, and I-95 in DE so it has to connect right? Apparently, this is not the case because PA doesn't want to be "left out", so they wanted the I-95 through Philly. Regarding the buses. I think it will still go thru the present route. Greyhound has a stop at Camden, and Boltbus has a stop at Cherry Hill Mall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
